Noah Slater commented on COUCHDB-1229:
--------------------------------------
Just to chime in, I do not see the logic here either. Specifically in regard
to: "/ is an important character that distinguishes database resources from
document resources, etc." After the first "/" to separate the database from the
document, there shouldn't be any need to treat "/" characters as being special.
Even a simple split on "/" would let you pull the first index to get the
database name, while joining the remainder to reconstruct the docid.
> _update handler doesn't support slashes in doc _id

> Key: COUCHDB-1229
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-1229
> Project: CouchDB
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: HTTP Interface
> Affects Versions: 1.1
> Reporter: Simon Leblanc
> Labels: URI, id, update
>
> Let's say you have:
> - a doc with _id foo/bar
> - a show function named baz
> - a update function named baz
> Then _show/baz/foo/bar is valid but _update/baz/foo/bar is not. Only
> _update/baz/foo%2Fbar works.
> This is particularly annoying when you want to rewrite /something/* to
> _update/baz/foo/* (rewriting /something/* to _show/baz/foo/* works perfectly).
